This fully updated second edition of a work begun by Jonathan Eastwood (1824–1864) was first published in 1884. It draws on Wright's extensive experience in both literary and biblical study and offers a clear and detailed glossary of hundreds of obsolete and archaic words commonly used in the Authorised Version of the Bible. By drawing comparison to word usage in contemporary texts such as those of Shakespeare, Francis Bacon and Thomas More, the likely meaning and usage of each word is explained in plain English. A guide for users of a version of the Bible which is itself a cornerstone of English literature.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 39mmItem Weight: 870gAuthor: William Aldis WrightGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Biblical StudiesRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
